3D box cannot be pasted in place

draw a box

copy

paste in place - gets pasted way off

rev 18025

This seems to be due to the new clipboard code. It worked before (just tested with an older revision), and now I also get a whole bunch of warnings when copying while in 3D box context. These warnings don't appear when I switch to the Selector tool first.

I can try and investigate this but it will be a while before I get around to it. Maybe Chris has an idea where this comes from (since he introduced the changes)? From a first glance it seems that the box's perspective is not copied over.

This may be because with the old clipboard code nothing ever left the process, so there may be assumptions on the state of nodes which are not upheld when we go out of process. I'll work on this after I get an e-commerce project I'm involved in now to a decent state.

After cursory investigation I think this may be caused by perspectives not being duplicated correctly. A quick solution would be to put additional ID conflict resolution code in id-clashes.cpp. However, the whole premise of enumerating stuff that can conflict in id-clashes.cpp is wrong and the correct long-term solution is to make the XML tree CSS-aware so it can keep track of what references what and change IDs without breaking references.

Apparently this has been fixed in the meantime (cannot reproduce with current bzr rev. 8911).
